The direct and short-term impact of land reclamation is a reduction in intertidal storage space and the loss of ecological value. Its long-term impact on the tidal landscape is variable but surprisingly poorly known. In this contribution, we review the impacts of land reclamation in a wide range of physical environments. Land reclamation along exposed, muddy coastlines leads to erosion or accretion, depending on local transport conditions and sediment availability. Confined muddy coasts (typically estuaries) respond by progressive infilling of tidal channels, especially when their upper reaches have been reclaimed. More gradual reclamation along the length of an estuary can lead to tidal amplification, while reclamation at the estuary mouth may additionally lead to channel erosion. The response timescales may be very long (up to centuries) especially when controlled by positive feedback mechanisms between tidal dynamics and landscape evolution. Therefore, some of the present day land reclamations will influence or possibly control the evolution of the coastal landscape in the coming decades to even centuries. In sediment-poor coastal bays, the reduction in tidal prism mainly leads to lower exchange rates and, therefore, to a reduction in water quality. The framework introduced here facilitates the assessment of the past and future impacts of land reclamations in tide-dominated environments. This understanding is crucial to predict the response of land reclamation-impacted coastal systems to accelerated sea level rise.</p>","PeriodicalId":21177,"journal":{"name":"Reviews of Geophysics","volume":"63 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":37.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2024RG000860","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144881392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A detailed understanding of river dynamics globally is essential for achieving accurate knowledge of surface water storage and fluxes to support water resources management and water-related disaster forecasting and mitigation. Global in situ information on river flows are crucial to support such an investigation but remain difficult to obtain at adequate spatiotemporal scales, if they even exist. Many expectations are placed on remote sensing techniques as key contributors. Despite a rapid expansion of satellite capabilities, however, it remains unclear what temporal revisit, spatial coverage, footprint size, spatial resolution, observation accuracy, latency time, and variables of interest from satellites are best suited to capture the space-time propagation of water in rivers. Additionally, the ability of numerical models to compensate for data sparsity through model-data fusion remains elusive. We review recent efforts to identify the type of remote sensing observations that could enhance understanding and representation of river dynamics. Key priorities include: (a) resolving narrow water bodies (finer than 50–100 m), (b) further analysis of signal accuracy versus hydrologic variability and relevant technologies (optical/SAR imagery, altimetry, microwave radiometry), (c) achieving 1–3 days observation intervals, (d) leveraging data assimilation and multi-satellite approaches using existing constellations, and (e) new variable measurement for accurate water flux and discharge estimates.

The forebulge of the last glaciation attracted attention over more than one century, but quantitative descriptions on the geometry of the forebulge are rare. While many studies mention forebulge dynamics as a possible cause for a certain observation, very few studies provide a detailed and systematic exploration of the forebulge's precise dynamics. That way the forebulge became occasionally a rather mysterious structure with many unknowns. We aim to shed light into the forebulge discussion. After reviewing the history of forebulge research, we outline the theory behind the spatio-temporal forebulge development including controlling factors, and present forebulge observations in geological and geodetic records of North America and the northern parts of Central Europe. We use a state-of-the art finite-element model that can fit multiple observations of the last glaciation simultaneously, to illustrate forebulge development in North America and northern Central Europe and address the issue of whether the zero-uplift hinge line is a good indication of the location of the forebulge front. Finally, we discuss effects of the forebulge on the sea-level change pattern and the evolution of lithospheric stresses, which can induce intraplate earthquakes. We also show that the existence of a glacial forebulge outside the ice margin is not consistent with the assumption of isostatic equilibrium at the Last Glacial Maximum, and there is no strain rate-stress paradox.</p>","PeriodicalId":21177,"journal":{"name":"Reviews of Geophysics","volume":"63 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":37.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2024RG000852","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144524815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While some structures can tolerate a certain degree of surface displacement, others, such as buildings, are far more vulnerable. Probabilistic Fault Displacement Hazard Assessment (PFDHA) quantifies the probability of exceeding a certain level of displacement at a site due to surface-rupturing earthquakes. A PFDHA model consists primarily of two components: the surface rupture probability and the fault displacement models (FDMs). FDMs distinguish between principal fault rupture and distributed rupture. Principal fault rupture occurs along the primary fault plane, where seismic energy is primarily released during an earthquake. In contrast, distributed rupture refers to all other tectonic surface ruptures occurring away from the principal fault. This differentiation was first introduced during the pioneering PFDHA study conducted for the Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository (Nevada, USA) in the early 2000s. Since then, the methodology has been applied to various fault types, including strike-slip and reverse faults. In recent years, the number of new models and the awareness of PFDHA has grown thanks to several international initiatives such as the worldwide and unified database of surface ruptures, the fault displacement hazard initiative, and the benchmark project led by the International Atomic Energy Agency. With growing interest and rapid advancements in this field, this article aims to provide a complete overview of all published models, discuss their applicability and limitations, standardize the terminology, and outline the necessary developments to guide future research.</p>","PeriodicalId":21177,"journal":{"name":"Reviews of Geophysics","volume":"63 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":37.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1029/2024RG000875","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144511170","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
